Last season, the Minnesota Vikings came off two wins better than they were in 2013, but they were still just 7-9 and third in the NFC North. Vikings fans
probably won't care too much about missing the playoffs again since they were able to see that they have a good coach in Mike Zimmer and a potential
franchise quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater.

Green Bay Packers
: The Vikings are clearly not as talented as the Packers yet, but they should feel that they can pick up at least one win in this series. They haven't done
so since 2012, though, and they are just 1-9-1 against Green Bay wince 2010.

Seattle Seahawks:
If the Vikings want to keep improving, they need to beat their toughest opponents at home. This is an especially tough matchup for them, though, because
their defense struggles against the run and the Seahawks are the top rushing team in the league. If they can pull off this win, they'll have a good chance
of moving up in the NFC standings.

Detroit Lions
The Vikings went 18-2 against the Lions in the 2000's, but they are just 4-6 against them since 2010, including going 0-2 against them last year. These
games are usually low scoring, which means that this is a very tough series to predict.
